Last Wednesday was our first CSA box pick up. I was so excited to see what we got from Featherstone Farm! The first week included salad greens, red butter lettuce, spinach, asparagus, radishes, and cilantro. Yum! To use up our bounty we ate a ton of salad (of course). The asparagus I roasted on Friday with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and served (with more salad) with peanut chicken satay. With the cilantro I made marinaded beef fajitas and a cilantro dressing (recipe below). With half of the radishes I made half a recipe of bread-and-butter-radishes (a refrigerator pickle). I have been using the spinach for salads, and a bit torn up here and there to add greens to cooked meals. The radish tops were a bit nibbled on by some little critter, but after cleaning them and slicing thinly, they were stir fried up with roasted garlic to add to some morning eggs. Tomorrow night we will finish off the spinach at dinner with some poppy seed dressing.

You all know how I love rhubarb. My husband? Not so much. He pretty much thinks rhubarb is evidence of Satan. I REALLY want to know what rhubarb dish he was fed as a kid to make him hate it so. Being the great wife that I am, I still cook up plenty of rhubarb (more for me, baby!) to enjoy. I am awesome like that… (Love you, honey. I have some gluten free brownies for you. xoxoxo)

There is sunlight today, so I will try to get a picture of the jam in the jars posted later on. Wish me luck!

Cinnamon Rhubarb Jam

2 pounds rhubarb stalks, chopped into about 1/3″-1/2″ peices

1 clementine, zested and juiced (mine was a bit tart)

2 cinnamon sticks

2 cups granulated sugar

1 Tablespoon lime juice

Place rhubarb, clementine zest and juice, and the cinnamon sticks in a bowl. Add the sugar, mixing well. Cover bowl; set aside at room temperature for two hours, stirring occasionally. The sugar will dissolve as the fruit releases its juices. After two hours, refrigerate covered overnight.

When ready to make the jam: Stir rhubarb/sugar mixture one more time. Drain the rhubarb and pour the juice into a large saucepan. Scrape any extra undissolved sugar into the pan, if needed. Add cinnamon sticks to liquid. Place pan over medium heat and stir, completely dissolving the sugar, if needed. Bring liquid to a boil. Add the rhubarb to the pan. Bring mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to cook at a low boil about 20 minutes, stirring often so jam does not scorch. Stir in the lime juice.

Test if jam is finished by putting a teaspoon of jam on a cold plate. If it does not set up within 2 minutes (or has some juice pooling around the center mound of jam), cook a few minutes longer.

Remove the cinnamon sticks. Ladle the jam into clean, hot canning jars, adjust lids and seal in a boiling water bath 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Makes about 4 1/2-pints. Mmmmm….. jammy goodness!

To see a great tutorial on hot water bath canning go to CanningUSA. CanningUSA also has video podcasts about the canning process you may find helpful.

Head over to Mj’s for Freezer Food Friday. Then head back and join in Gluten Free-zer Friday. We’ld love to have you join in on the fun!

1. If you would like to participate in Gluten Free-zer Friday, simply email your post link to your gluten free freezer recipe (angelas_kitchenATcomcastDOTnet) or leave a comment below and I will add you to the roundup.

2. Link back to this post on the post with the recipe you have linked.

For Gluten Free-zer Friday this week I am putting up the gluten and dairy free adaptions for Once a Month Mom‘s October 2009 menu. I changed a couple of recipes completely to still have something delicious, yet simple enough to pull together for gluten and dairy free cooking. Someday I may have a tutorial post about how to make gluten free ravioli, but I figure it wasn’t a good idea for an already busy cooking day! ;o) The “cheese” ball is also being posted today. Happy cooking!

Dinners

The instructions and shopping list will be up after I check my math… I realized something went terribly wrong with my addition!

*****************

You will need to pick the “cheese” sauce you could like to use. One is nut free, which is a great option for those with tree nut allergies. Our family likes them both. You will just need to make one batch of a “cheese” sauce.

In a blender, blend cashews to a fine power. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and whisk constantly over medium heat until thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve hot.

Mild “Cheese” Sauce or Spread

After it cools this sauce thickens up enough to use this to spread on bread for grilled “cheese” sandwiches.

Mix dry ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk in water. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until it thickens and bubbles. Cook 30 seconds, then remove from heat. Whip in margarine and mustard. It will thicken as it cools but will thin when heated.

Dairy Free Pumpkin Cheese Ball

Servings: 16-20

Author/Source: Angela at angelaskitchen.com DOUBLE

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

3 cups raw cashews

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2-4 tablespoons lemon juice

4 tablespoons fresh chives, minced

3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Put pumpkin puree into a sieve lined with cheese cloth and set over a bowl. Allow to drain while cashews soak.

Soak cashews in room temperature water for an hour. Drain and rinse cashews. Drain cashews really well, blotting if necessary.

Put cashews, pumpkin puree, nutritional yeast and salt into a food processor or high-powered blender (such as a Vita-Mix). Process until smooth.

Slowly add lemon juice a tablespoon at a time, checking the consistency after each addition. You will be shaping it, so do not thin it too much (this will vary GREATLY depending on size of cashews, their freshness, the hardness/softness of your water, etc). Use less juice to keep it dryer. It will firm up more as it chills. Stir in minced chives.

Divide mixture into 2 parts. Shape each part with your hands into a ball. Put the chopped toasted pecans in a shallow plate and carefully roll each ball in the pecans. Completely cover the outside of each ball with pecans.

Wrap each in plastic wrap. Put wrapped “cheese” ball into a quart sized freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.

To serve: Thaw in refrigerator. Place on a serving platter. Score sides with a knife to resemble a pumpkin and add celery leaves for a stem.

Containers Needed: Plastic Wrap & 2 Quart Freezer Bags

Note from Angela: You will need 4 double crusts and 2 single crusts for this freezer menu (bring on the pies, baby!). You will be making 2 double batches of dough (below) and a single batch of dough (below the double). I DO NOT recommend making anything larger than a double batch at a time for the pie crust recipe as your crusts will not turn out well…. Trust me on this.

Whisk together rice and tapioca flour, potato and cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt into a mixing bowl. Cut cold shortening into dry ingredient. Blend with a pastry cutter until shortening is incorporated into the dry ingredients. Beat egg with vinegar and 2 tablespoons cold water; Pour over flour mixture and toss together with a fork. If more water is needed for dough to hold together when squeezed, then sprinkle one tablespoon of cold water at a time onto the dough, up to an extra 1/4 cup water. Form dough into four balls with your hands. Place each dough ball onto a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk about 1 to 1 1/2″ thick. Wrap disks well in plastic and chill for at least one hour.

Remove dough from the fridge. Working with one disk at a time, unwrap dough. Place on plastic wrap and add another sheet of plastic wrap onto of dough disk. Roll out the dough between to sheets of wax paper. The dough should be about 1 1/2 inches larger in diameter than the pie pan. Peel top sheet of plastic away from dough. Slip hand underneath plastic wrap and crust. Using the plastic wrap to help support the dough, flip crust into pie pan. Remove the sheet of plastic wrap. Trim excess dough and crimp edges to form a decorative border.

Note: You can freeze disks of pie dough. Wrap the disks well. When ready to use, allow to thaw over night in the refrigerator. When thawed, shape and bake.

Follow instructions for the double batch, but make 2 disks of dough instead of 4.

Freezer Apple Pie (half recipe – makes 2 pies)

Source: Angela at angelaskitchen.com

12 cups apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch (use a peeler/slicer)

2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

3/4 cups sugar or cane juice crystals

3/4 cups brown sugar

3/4 cup corn starch

2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups apple cider

Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in a large bowl.

In a large stock pan, whisk sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. While still whisking, slowly add apple cider. Put pot over medium-high heat and bring to a low boil. Boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. The cider mixture will be very thick.

Add apple slices and lemon juice to pan and carefully fold apples into cider mixture. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring often. Apple will be partially cooked and more tender, NOT mushy. Allow mixture to cool for half an hour uncovered, then place into the refrigerator to cool completely. (Note: After the filling is cool, you can divide into two freezer containers or freezer bags, label and freeze.)

If making pies, divide into pie tins containing chilled pie crusts. Return filled crust to refrigerator while making the pies’ top crusts. Put top crust on pie, flute crust edge, cut steam vents in the crust. You can brush the top of your pie with an egg wash of and egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water (for egg free use flax seed goop using golden flax), sprinkling with cinnamon sugar to finish the crust. Now, freeze your pie in the coldest section of your freezer. When frozen, wrap your pie with freezer weight plastic wrap or slip into a large freezer bag, removing all the air. Label pie with type of pie, date and baking instructions.

When ready to bake your pie: Remove from freezer. Unwrap pie and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 350 degrees for 50 min to and hour. Pie is done when apples are tender, crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Allow pie to completely cool before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Containers Needed: plastic wrap, and 2 9-inch pie pans

Pumpkin Pie

Servings: 16

Author/Source: Angela at angelaskitchen.com SINGLE

2 – 15 oz cans pumpkin

1 ½ cups packed brown sugar

Pumpkin Enchiladas Casserole

Servings: 16

Author/Source: Angela at angelaskitchen.com DOUBLE

If you have leftover chicken or turkey, this is a good dish to use it up on. Shed the meat and layer before the beans.

2 Tablespoons oil

2 cups onions, diced

16 cloves garlic, minced

4 (15 oz) cans pumpkin puree

4 cups gluten free chicken stock or broth

8 oz. can of diced mild green jalapeno chiles, drained

2 teaspoons chili powder

½ teaspoon nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

2 cans back beans, drained and rinsed

2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

2 – 12 oz jars roasted bell peppers, drained and chopped

2 cups “cheese” sauce of choice

37 gluten free corn tortillas (6-inch)

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. Once the oil has heated, add the onion, and seasoning well with salt and pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until onions soften. Add garlic and continue to cook for another minute. Stir in pumpkin puree, stock, jalapenos, chili powder, nutmeg and check if it needs more salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat. Pour one cup of sauce in the bottom of each 8×8 pan. Lay dividing one tortilla in half, fit 3 tortillas into the bottom of pan overlapping an covering as well as possible. Sprinkle with half of the black beans, half of the pinto beans, and half of the roasted bell peppers. Pour ½ cup of sauce on layer. Repeat layer starting with tortillas, then both beans, peppers and another ½ cup sauce. Top with the final layer of tortillas. Pour final pumpkin sauce on top (about 1 cup). Warm “cheese” sauce until you can pour it. Drizzle “cheese” sauce over each casserole. Freeze.

To serve: Thaw. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes – 1 hour or until bubbling.

Set a steamer basket into a large pot. Fill with enough water to come just below the basket. Bring Water to a boil. Place potatoes in basket and reduce water temperature to a simmer. Cover pot and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, brown the meat and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Drain the meat. Pull the cooked potatoes from steamer basket and mash with a potato masher. Add potatoes, seasoned salt, and poultry seasoning to the meat and mix well. Stir in the frozen veggies. Set aside to cool.

Remove the pie pastry from the refrigerator, and allow to warm up a bit until you can easily roll it out, but it is still cool. Roll out crusts (use plastic wrap – crust tutorial is here). Line two pie plates with a pie crust and fill with the meat stuffing evenly. Cover with top crusts and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Seal the edges together by pressing a fork all the way around the rim. Cut a slice in the center of the crust to vent. Cover well with plastic wrap and foil. Label and freeze. To serve: Thaw at least 24 hours in refrigerator. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Dividing each ingredient into 4 parts, put 1/4th of each chicken, carrots, peppers, onion, garlic, beans, tomatoes, broth, wine, thyme, allspice, black pepper and red pepper into a gallon sized freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal. Mix parsley and spinach together. Divide into 4 pint sized freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible and seal. Package large and small bag together (I do this by putting the large and small bag into another larger freezer bag), label and freeze.

To serve: Thaw. Put contents of large bag into slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Just before serving, stir in fresh parsley and spinach. Serve with some crusty gluten free bread and a green salad.

3 loaves gluten free bread of choice (I use my GF French Bread, but a triple batch of Noah’s Rolls work really well in this)

1 cup red onion, thinly sliced

16 ounces mushrooms, sliced

3 teaspoons ground cumin

1 cup of “”cheese” sauce of choice

12 each eggs

4 cups unsweetened milk substitute of choice

To Taste, salt

To Taste, pepper

In a medium stockpot, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add spinach, cooking 2 minutes. Drain in colander; press out any remaining water by placing spinach in a cotton, kitchen towel and squeezing out moisture. Chop roughly and set aside.

On an angle, cut gluten free bread into 1/2″ thick slices. Using a basting (or pastry) brush, lightly oil both sides of each slice with olive oil. Spray 4 deep dish 8×8 pans with non-stick cooking spray, and line the bottom of dish (and sides if necessary) with the prepared bread, slightly layering and overlapping the slices.

Over medium heat, warm a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until fragrant, about 40 seconds. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 5 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add ground cumin and spinach, stirring to combine.

Layer cooked onion/mushroom/spinach mixture over the bread, spreading evenly. Warm “cheese” sauce until pourable. Drizzle the “cheese” sauce over the vegetables evenly. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk with salt and pepper to taste. Gently and evenly, pour egg mixture over the layered bread and vegetables in baking dishes. Cover and freeze.

To serve: Thaw slowly in refrigerator (24 hours+) Bake at 375 degrees uncovered for approximately 40-45 minutes. Knife inserted near center should come out moist, but relatively clean. Remove from oven, allow casserole to cool slightly, then cut into portions for serving.

To serve: Thaw. Cover and cook in slow cooker on low for 8 hours, or high for about 4.

Containers Needed: 4 gallon freezer bags

This month’s challenge is a family recipe from Jen of Use Real Butter. It is one of the things I used to LOVE back in the ol’gluten filled days – potstickers! I made a dough last year for mu shu wraps that at the time I thought I would try as a potsticker wrap, but, you know how it goes, I got busy and never quite got to it. So, here we are, a year later, and it took the amazing Daring Cooks to get me to remember and try it. Thanks guys! I am so glad I did. The fillings used were very tasty. Jen is one lucky girl having grown up on these every weekend!

This does take a bit of time to put together (think roll, fill, fold and pinch – over and over and over and over…), but I think the results are worth it. I have missed these. I am putting these up in the freezer for Mommy treats (okay, I’ll share…) and for guests and just to have on hand. I will put the freezing instructions and some other filling options on the blog Friday for Gluten Free-zer Friday, so stay tuned!

The Challenge: Chinese dumplings/potstickers (aka gyoza in Japanese)

Challenge by Jen of Use Real Butter (family recipe) adapted to gluten free by me

Jen says: “It’s a basic concept: a filling inside a dough wrapper, sealed, and cooked. This delicious theme runs through many cultures and is among the more popular bites at Chinese restaurants – especially dim sum. The recipe I provide is based on my family recipe. There is a lot of wiggle room and I encourage you to explore. If you’ve made them before – great! Now try something different!”

Made a few more than 2 dozen… You will need to double this to have enough dough for the filling.

1 cup finely ground rice flour

1/4 cup sweet rice flour

1 1/4 cups water

1/2 – 1 cup tapioca flour/starch

Place rice and sweet rice flour in a pan. While mixing, add water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until flour is cooked and very, very sticky. Remove from heat. Place sticky dough into a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup tapioca flour to bowl and mix with paddle attachment of your mixer. Allow dough to cool. When cool, remix. If dough is too sticky to handle, sprinkle dough with 2 – 3 tablespoons of tapioca flour at a time and mix (this will depend on the humidity in your area). When you have a dough you can pull off pieces and not have stick to your hands (think play dough consistency – Yum), it is ready.

Roll slightly smaller than walnut sized pieces of dough, flatten into a disk, place on lightly “floured” (use tapioca flour/starch) plastic wrap, roll out dough with a rolling pin, rotating dough/flipping dough over so that wrap is evenly rolled out, using plastic wrap if needed to help pick up dough. I made 3 1/2 – 4” rounds.

About this size for the dough…

Look how thin this rolls out even though it is a gluten free! Woo!

Check Jen’s post on how to fill and shape the dumplings. I wet the edge of the round with a bit of water to get the edges to stick if the pleating wasn’t sticking, but the dough mostly stuck to itself. Remember that gluten free dough is a bit fragile, so you be gentle to your dough. Any rips and tears I had were pretty easy to put back together, however. I did have to place the dumpling dough with the filling on a tray, then pleat, instead of pleating in my hands as the dough couldn’t take too much rough handling…

Dumplings ready for cooking.

To boil: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add dumplings to pot. Boil the dumplings until they float.

To steam: Place dumplings on a single layer of napa cabbage leaves or on a well-greased surface in a steamer basket with lid. Steam covered for about 6 minutes.

To pan fry (potstickers): Place dumplings in a frying pan with 2-3 tbsp of vegetable oil. Heat on high and fry for a few minutes until bottoms are golden. Add 1/2 cup water and cover. Cook until the water has boiled away and then uncover and reduce heat to medium or medium low. Let the dumplings cook for another 2 minutes then remove from heat and serve.

My tasty potstickers.

(Sorry about the photo quality. Iphones are great, but maybe not for food photos…)

Thank you, Jen, for this challenge. It has inspired me and brought back an old friend to my dinning table! I will be making, and freezing these with various fillings to enjoy whenever the mood strikes… Knowing myself, that mood should be very often!

Mix all ingredients except meat into a gallon sized freezer bag. Add meat, seal bag and mix marinade around meat. Open bag slightly and remove as much air as possible, then seal bag. Label bag and freeze.

When ready to cook: Thaw meat and marinade overnight in the refrigerator. You can slice meat thinly and thread onto skewers, cut into cubes and use for kabobs, grill or stir fry with veggies.

Visit MJ for Freezer Food Friday and see what is everyone else’s freezers. Today she has a Chicken Basil Meatloaf to share. Sounds good! My kids are always up for meatloaf! To make gluten free, just use gluten free dried bread crumbs instead of gluten ones. I wonder how this would be as meatballs, too? I think I need to try it both ways. Yummy! Thanks, MJ!

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for about 3 minutes more. Allow sauce to cool, then store in a canning jar with a lid in the refrigerator. This will keep for several months in the refrigerator, but it never lasts that long in our house! You can use this on shrimp, chicken, steak, tofu, pork, etc. and as a dipping sauce. Mmmm….

To use as a freezer marinade: Use 1/2 cup of sauce for every pound of meat in a gallon sized freezer bag. Seal bag the mix the meat around until covered in sauce. Open seal and remove as much air as possible from the bag. Seal. Label bag and freeze. (The marinade will get thick in the freezer, but due to the mirin, never completely freeze. However, the meat will.)

When ready to serve: Thaw meat. Bake, grill or broil until meat is cooked to desired doneness. Watch the meat closely as is nears the end of cooking time. The sugar in the marinade can scorch if not tended to near the end, especially on the grill and when broiling. If you would like to use the rest of the marinade in the bag as a dipping sauce, put it into a saucepan, bring to a boil and allow to boil for a few minutes before serving.

Head over to MJ’s for Freezer Food Friday. Her recipe is for Steak Fajitas which could be made gluten free if you are sure to use a GF hot sauce and salsa and corn or teff tortillas. To make dairy free, skip the sour cream, use the tofu “sour cream”, or plain coconut yogurt.

This recipe is from my dad. He came up with it and uses it to coat boneless skinless chicken breasts and pork chops. I am using it as a “dump” marinade. Put all the ingredients in a labeled (with the contents!) gallon freezer bag, smooch them around to mix, then dump in the meat of your choice. Seal the bag, mix the meat around in the sauce, remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal and freeze. When you are ready to cook this, thaw the bag overnight in your refrigerator. When it is dinnertime, cook the meat as desired. If you would like to use the marinade as a glaze, boil in a sauce pan until thickened.
